From: Chromosomal evolution in Raphicerus antelope suggests divergent X chromosomes may drive speciation through females, rather than males, contrary to Haldane's rule

Figure 1

Range distribution and karyotype conservation in Raphicerus. (a) R. campestris (RCA) occurs in two discontinuous areas, one in East Africa and a second larger, southern African population. The two populations are separated by Brachystegia woodland that largely defines the distributional limits of (b) R. sharpei (RSH) which extends from Tanzania to northeast South Africa and eastern Swaziland. (c) R. melanotis (RME) is almost exclusively a Western Cape endemic largely confined to the Cape Floristic Region. Distribution maps are redrawn from67,68,69. (d) Comparison of the G-banded chromosomes of RCA, RSH and RME with the corresponding Bos taurus (BTA) syntenic relationships shown to the left in each instance.
